Gosh, Intuit has gone on a total advertising offensive recently! It seems every ad on YouTube nowadays has the same jingle: 'free free freefree freefreefree'. They are advertising their free tax filing service and advisors, which I'm sure everybody here knows is a Trojan horse disguising their lobbying to take away actual free filing provided by the government. Here's the catch: they make it really difficult to use their software for free: you have to have a very specific financial status (under $66k a year in income) and for a long time they just blatantly hid it [1]. Those ads make my blood boil whenever they come up, but the production quality/creativity is Geico-level. They must've spent a lot of money to steer people from the truth...
